Cyber range in the energy sector: what an attack looks like before it happens

An attack on an energy grid doesn’t start in the control room. It usually starts with a phishing email or a compromised supplier, and from there it moves step by step from the IT network toward the OT systems that control physical processes.

The session builds on scenarios based on anonymized incidents, run in a cyber range: a controlled environment where an attack can be reproduced safely. We’ll follow the full path, from initial compromise to operational impact, and see where defenders caught the warning signs and where they missed them. We’ll also look at how the same training environment extends to drones, including ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) platforms used to monitor critical infrastructure, where a compromised communication link or a spoofed GPS signal can open a new attack path.
